Show Order 2015-2016

This is my ideal show order for this year's touring ensemble. Some pieces are returning pieces from previous choreographers, including myself. Most are new numbers that I have already written or are in the process of being written.

This is a playlist of the show order; none of these songs are edited or cut to the version they would be performed to in these videos.
